  • Net exhibition space occupied in Italy: 478,450 square metres (30% from directly organised exhibitions), compared to 530,315 square metres in 1Q18
  • 1Q19 Consolidated quarterly revenues of Euro 71.0 million (Euro 77.3 million in 1Q18)
  • 1Q19 consolidated EBITDA: Euro 29.0 million (Euro 19.7 million in 1Q18)
  • 1Q19 consolidated EBIT: Euro 17.5 million (Euro 18.2 million in 1Q18)
  • Consolidated profit before tax: Euro 14.1 million (Euro 18.1 million in 1Q18)
  • Consolidated net cash (pre-IFRS 16): Euro 60.1 million (Euro 23.7 million at 31 December 2018)

Income statement and statement of financial position figures for the first quarter 2019 included the effects of the new accounting standard IFRS 16 – Leases

EVENT AFTER THE END OF THE PERIOD

  • Today Fiera Milano and the Controlling Shareholder Fondazione Fiera Milano, owner of the exhibition sites, reached an agreement on the rental fee of the fieramilanocity exhibition site
  • The rental fee will be reduced by Euro 1.5 million a year, on the current rental fee of Euro 2.9 million a year, starting from 1 June 2019
  • All the other terms of the rental contract remain unchanged
